No, the reason the size is large is because they chopped away all the dead and damaged tissue. There are no powder burns or any burn injury evident in that wound. Also contact wound leave black residue and he has none. You can actually see some sutures in the second PIC. |

just because im new to this site doesnt mean i dont know my guns. i know all the rules of gun safety. i still clear any of my guns before i handle them, regardless of the status of the loaded chamber indicator. those 3 guys that shot their own hand all seemed to have lots of firearms experience, you think if it had a simple loaded chamber indiactor they would be ok today? maybe, maybe not. any safety device in the world means nothing if the person holding the gun is careless |

yes. the loaded chamber indicator definetly reasures me that it is empty however, im not sure how the accidental discharge happened. on my xd you must first lock the slide open, then flip the slide release button, then close the slide, then pull the trigger i would assume unless there was a loaded magazine in the gun that the gun would be empty when you first lock the slide back. is the glock dissasembly different? |

How do you pull a trigger while the muzzle is pointed at your own flesh?
 That's why I ALWAYS keep my 1911 cocked and locked. You don't have to guess whether or not it will blow a hole in your hand if you pull the trigger. You simply take the round out of the chamber when you are ready to service the weapon. When you are through servicing the weapon drop the slide on a freshly loaded mag and lift the safety, just like God and John Moses intended. |

What makes you think it wasn't a Glock? The .45 ND US Marshals photo spread was a Glock. Why are all these people putting their hand in front of the muzzle when the clear/take down their weapons. Serious question. Is it being taught that way, or it it just a bad habit that they fell into? Any ND is bad, but it's worse when your hand is in front of the barrel. |

if your talking about the Gunzone .45 ND the guy is NOT a US Marshal. Internet BS mutated that story. |

Glock's do not require you to lock the slide back before pulling the trigger. At least w/ the XD we know it's unloaded if we follow the directions: 1. drop the magazine 2. lock the slide back (this will eject any round in the chamber) 3. flip up the takedown lever 4. release the slide 5. pull the trigger to release the striker 6. remove the slide. Now, if you are dumb enough to leave the magazine in the gun, then you will chamber another round and blow out your television when you pull the trigger (don't ask me how I know this  )...

That wound looks like it has been treated w/ the VAC system (vacuum assisted closure) - that pink/red stuff in new granulation tissue, and the VAC stimulates pretty rapid growth to fill the area (it's much faster than the old wet-to-dry dressings). The granular/mesh pattern is due to the tissue being pulled into the sponge dressing of the VAC. It could be days-weeks old, depending on how extensive the original wound was.

What it looks like is that he tried to pull (err push) the slide back using his left hand on the front strap and somewhere along the line he blasted his hand.
I know there aren't any burn marks, but it may have been cleaned up and the image may have been taken a week or so after the incident. It sure is a lot of damage however it happened. |
